I hope you like it! I take a very different approach to Juana; some say, controversial. I like to think about it as a more human approach, myself. ;)

C.W., I just finished The Secret Lion, and WOW! It blew me away! Well done! I loved the intrigue you combined with a well know tale about princess Elizabeth! When is the second book coming out? Or is it out and I just can't find it!

My local library has just purchased "The Last Queen" and I'm looking forward to finally getting a chance to read it :)

Wow, thanks so much. I'm so glad you liked it! For now, the second book is on hold. My publisher for SECRET LION went kaput and my agent wants to package the series for a larger publisher. I do have the next three books in the series outlined, and a chunk of the second book written, so hopefully we'll rouse some interest when submission time rolls around.
